Colonial Downs Live Racing is the Virginia-based thoroughbred racing brand operated by Churchill Downs, Inc. After originally opening in 1997, the venue closed in 2014 and reestablished for thoroughbred racing in 2019. Today, Colonial Downs hosts a robust 2025 schedule with 44 live racing days, including a spring meet and a summer meet, plus midweek options and holiday racing. The Virginia Derby, a Kentucky Derby qualifier, drew sold-out crowds in 2025. We’ve got you covered with reliable tickets, up-to-date schedules, and insider access to premium experiences.
